Hello! Hopefully you can help me with this question.
I created a calculation field. I also have two identical checkboxes with pass or fail export values.
If the calculation exceeds 1.422, I want it to automatically trigger "Fail" in the checkbox. Is there a way to do this, Please?

Thank you for responding! Using the caluclations on that page you reocmmended, I got part of the problem to work. Now it selects "Pass" or "Fail" depending on the calculation, but they want a third choice, Fail: Marginal, that triggers when the amount is between 1.421 and 1.777.

Also, they want an app.event that says: Pass or Fail.

Here's my code presently:
var v1 = getField("A").value;

var v2 = getField("B").value;

to the difference event.value = v1 - v2;

if (event.value <1.421) this.getField("Fail or Pass").value = "Pass";if (event.value>1.778) this.getField("Fail or Pass").value = "Fail";Now I want to add an event value that works if the amount is between 1.421 and 1.777.
Thanks, in advance, for any help.

By the way, I already added a box to the "Pass or Fail" boxes.

One box outputs "Fail" and one box outputs "pass" and now I want to output "fail marginal" to complete.

Look at that article again. You need to use an if/else if/else structure.
